How to retain attachments in message when replying to sender

If you mean you opened the attachment and edited it, then any edit will have
been lost.
You would need to open / edit the attachment then done a 'save as' to your
drive before replying and adding the attachment

Why would you? The sender already has the file. After all, they gave it to
you. They don't need it back. When replying, you don't give back the
attachments that the sender gave you since they already have those files.

If the sender claims to have lost the file, why can't they extract it out of
the copy of the e-mail in their Sent Items folder? Are they claiming that
they somehow lost all their e-mails and now need you to send back the one
with the attachment? If so, just *forward* it to them. Be sure to "forward
as attachment" so the original e-mail is kept intact. Forwarding inline
means to create a new e-mail with the body of the old one inside the body of
your new e-mail but other content, like headers, is lost. So forward as an
attachment.

Or just save the attachment from the original e-mail and attach it to a new
e-mail that you send back to the sender who apparently no longer has that
file.
